Is it an open world if you can't interact with it? Or was it normies getting confused because you could walk about?
The faces looked great, problem was they wanted you to read their expressions to tell who seems guilty or not, looking for the little tells you can see in real life, but the finer details necessary for that weren't good enough on PS3 imo. Part of it might be the actors/directing sucking or something rather than just insufficient tech, but regardless I think it dropped the ball there.
Going on rampages was interesting for a bit.
Yeah but you could remake it in Scumm and retain the core of the game.
I always make this point: the modern corporate mentality is no longer "make a good product so customers want to give us their money." It's "the consumer's money is OUR money, and the consumer is just in the way."
It also didn't help that they changed the interrogation options the way they did.
Then when the consumers walk away and take their wallets with them, (because unless you're Nintendo or Tencent, chances are, you don't have a loyal fanbase or an army of paypigs) these modern corporate officers blame and fire everyone else but them, and when the company folds, they have a golden parachute on their way out while the filthy plebs who actually do the gruntwork of making a game are left to starve on the streets.
Problem is, PCs are a gateway to piracy and are almost always constantly being upgraded, which is costly.
Most people don't upgrade their PCs for years. The average gaming PC is older than a PS5, or at least was the last time I looked at Steam charts.
If it weren't for Windows threatening to cut off support for 10, I wouldn't upgrade.
I still ain't upgrading.
I'd still be on 7 if it supported NVMe drives and Chromium still worked.
As a PC gamer of over a decade, the only games I've pirated are games that are literally unable to be bought like SWAT 4 (before GOG managed to start selling it).
Even back when I used to autistically build my PCs with upgrade-ability in mind, I never actually did it.
The only "upgrade" I've made is adding some more RAM and switching from an HDD to an internal SSD. Other than that, everything's the same. And if you're in desperate need of an upgrade, it's not as expensive as some jackoffs make out. You can wait for sales, buy secondhand (if you trust the vendor), or buy on a payment plan like a friend of mine did for a new graphics card.
